I recognise Grand Master General Choi Hong Hi as the true authority on Taekwon-Do. The information in my tutorial is based on my interpretation of Taekwon-Do as taught to me by the Founder General Choi Hong Hi and as referred to in his book ‘TAEKWON-DO’ (5th Edition 1999) Published by ITF and printed in Canada.

Other Taekwon-Do Masters and Grand Masters may have a different interpretation of Taekwon-Do theory and practice, so if you are a Taekwon-Do student, it is important to check with your instructor if you are not sure about which interpretation you should be following.

These are without doubt the best instructional videos on taekwon do you'll find on YouTube whether you're a beginner or a black belt.

I have just taken up Taekwon-Do at the age of 45 having watched my 8 year old son train for the last two years. These are excellent videos and I have found them extremely helpful, it would appear that you can teach an old dog new tricks, providing you have the correct instructional videos. Thank you!

[wecros]

Thank you for your videos! These were super helpful to me as a total beginner in Taekwondo. Very clear and easy to understand.

Just started on my Taekwondo journey, your videos are second to none, your instruction is superb I have progressed so much in the past 4 weeks. Thank you

[jcleaverchamberlinjr]

Thank you, sir; that was well explained. My grading is today and four directional blocking is the one that I find the hardest.

Thank you for this, having trained previously, achieved green belt doing blue tag, life turned bad so many ways, despite physical and mental health issues, the last straw was having a massive siezuure Saturday lunchtime on the leed up to the corronation ceremony, the siezuure and subsequent missed diagnosis issues are resultant of a slow growing brain tumor.
In the hospital AMU accute medical unit, or I thought at the time we'd been nukes I'm in a place called atomic missile unit, 😅😅 laugh now but the only things that went around in my head was the following 1/ I needed my wife and she needed me.
Tae Kwon do Tennants.
Courtesy.
Integrity.
Perseverance.
Self control
Indomitable spirit.
Apparently so the staff were telling me I was using the ward as a Do Jang.
No Idea as I didn't know who I was, when or were I was .
I do know that I entered the amu with no left arm shoulder and hand function and very week left leg motor functions Tae Kwon do has helped get the arm issues 95 percent on track with no other physio just the power of the mind and focus.detemined although I can't recall any patterns I have thankfully the foundation the roots of the trees .
Like summer scorched grass the roots are there waiting for the water.
It's going to be a while but self control, perseverance and indomitable spirit I'm going to get myself back to green belt level and beyond

[treesathomas]
